    Lots of mucus. An almost constant cough. Like having a really bad cold without ever getting better... going to call Doctor tomorrow. Lisinopril did the same thing to me and they switched me to this. Now after a few months I'm getting the same side effects. Sore feet. Not sure if this med causes that...

    I just started this pill 4 days ago. BP went down to 134/82. Just started getting an itchy rash. So far not such a problem, but much better than the awful cough and swollen legs from previous bp meds. It's really hard to know what medicine is good for you and remember reading these reviews, you do not know the condition of the people who are writing them. It's hard to compare.

When I first started taking Losartan, my BP was stabilized, but in recent months it has become very erratic. It's that this medication is not working and has unfavorable side effects.

    I was on this medication for about a week. I started getting symptoms including numbness and tingling in the left side of my mouth/lips, left index finger, and big toe. Scared me! I thought I was having a stroke! Then my mouth became so dry I couldn't stand it. Was switched to Lisinopril and my side effects from Losartan disappeared.

    Dr prescribed this for my HBP. 100/12.5 dosage once a day. Makes me feel tired and I have had leg aches and cramping. Heart palpitations and fluttering, loss of sleep, and bags under my eyes I never had before. This one isn't good for me I can tell.
